Thank you all for the welcome and kind words.
My coast run usually ends at Worth Matravers (I'm sure you know the Square & Compass!) so Bournemouth is not far away. I'll take a look at the New Forest meet.
I never thought I'd reach 50, never mind get a new P car too!
My DD is a T5 Kombi and its great for dogs, bikes and work. Previous car was a C43 coupe. It was surprisingly quick, a very nice place to be but felt very heavy.
All sorts of hot hatches but my standout car was a S2000 that I bought new in 2003. Cracking car and nothing has come close since but I've always wanted 911. I see the 911 as my evolution of the S2000 so that's where my comparisons will be.
I went down the GTechniq route too. Happy so far. When I'm in my local OPC I notice the paintwork on the pre-owned cars seems better than the new cars half the time.

Welcome along!
I'm a massive fan of bright colours on 911s. Miami blue is stunning.
I hope I can buy myself something even half as good for my 50th.
Enjoy it! Thumb

Tell us more about your previous cars and how this one compares.

Have noticed in my local OPC that the paintwork on many brand new cars is less that perfect under the bright lights of the showroom. My own car when it was new 4 years ago had a full paint correction and GTechniq ceramic applied. Still looks as good as new. _
